 Thu Mar 22, 07 5:42 pm Patience is a virtue at the Sandbar |
 |
|
Had to get some chores done and get a hallpass, but I made it out with one of my shop guys to the Sandbar by around 3pm, just in time to see the dwindling winds and hear about how epic it was up at Wells Island.
Played the sit and wait game for about 20 minutes, and then got lucky as the wind gods provided us with about 2 hours of solid (but as usual, gusty) winds.
Was stoked to see a few people stick it out with us. I even yelled a super-gay 'woo hoo' to someone.
It's good to be back on the water.
Was that Gman that jibbed over me on the shoreline?

Felt like 2002 on that cafeteria tray.
You were so stoic waiting there thought you were a tree? Really sorry, was skimming in the stump filled pond, no problem, but manage to tag the only man standing on the sandbar - sorry again. 
Bammer that kite looks photoshopped in

Figured that was you. No worries, I was just glad that I ducked and you were able to bounce over me.
Looks like this weekend will be bringing us some more winds to hit the sandbar with, maybe even a little too much wind.

Gman,
Come on man, I would'nt be pulling the photoshop card. That's the new shit for 08, Naish is going puffy bling bling on the new kites!
Hey Pepi, good to hear that your out kiting early this year! Sold the windskipping stuff yet...
Phillip, yeah...and I thought HR was windy. Apparently in the summer is even notches up more.

Where are you getting this?? If it is strong enough, do you think it'll bring out the windsurfers in numbers to represent at the event site? Or will we just continue to rule it on our 6's and 7's??
Ha!

Bam -
It looks like you doctored up that pic to mask the proto. Either that or the new 08's are bed sheets with no struts.  hmmmmmmmm....that just might cut down on the drag though  
Sucks I couldn't stay longer in Maui! The winds have really been kick'n there since we left!

Hey T - now your just trying to get me in trouble, aren't you.
BTW - We parked at a very empty Sandbar parking lot the other day and the walk felt pretty short.
